Some Female Athletes Turn To Breast Reductions For Competitive Edge

The biggest hurdle for some curvy athletes? It may be their own breasts.

"The sport pushes us to be breastless little girls as long as possible," says gold medal winning gymnast Dominique Moceanu of the 1996 Magnificent Seven. She told ESPN Magazine some coaches even monitor what gymnasts eat to delay puberty.

Now, breast reduction surgery is a growing trend among some athletes.

One fitness instructor with Double D breasts says, she's had enough. In just an hour of moderate jogging, her breasts will bounce several thousand times. Cameo Wichinsky has to use two sports bras for support and still has pain and discomfort when she runs.
